A sustainable solution for surplus office furniture

We all have an obligation to be responsible to our environment and to assist in creating a circular economy. Every day, tonnes of surplus office furniture is dumped into landfill, reflecting the ‘take, make and waste’ way of operating. This is expensive, inefficient and harmful to the environment. Instead, at green furniture hub (GFH) we manage the redistribution of this furniture back to where it is needed. Why is this important? Check out our mission.

Here’s how it works

When you plan to move, GFH will catalogue, photograph and grade every surplus item. It is then displayed on our website and made available to other organisations for a modest fee, and free to charity organisations.

OK, I’d like to:

GET SOME FURNITURE

Browse top notch furniture at bargain price in minutes - you could even be using it within just a few days.

Let's do it!

OFFLOAD FURNITURE

It just takes a minute to register and we'll be in touch to discuss a proposal within one business day.

Our Mission

We’re on a mission to help create a zero-waste economy. We are committed to providing a sustainable, smart and creative solution for the reuse of surplus office furniture.

It’s estimated that each year corporate office refurbishments throughout Australia generate more than 30,000 tonnes of loose furniture ‘waste’. Yet, on average, only 18% is recycled and 2% reused – despite these items often being in good operational order and inherently high in value. As an industry, we can and must do better than this.

Rajiv Midha, the founder of GFH and director of Goals A+N, corporate relocation specialist, explains “I was alarmed by the amount of surplus material generated by businesses in transition, from growth, downsizing, relocating or rebranding. The amount of perfectly serviceable office furniture which ends up as landfill is truly unacceptable. That’s why I founded Green Furniture Hub. To make it easy for organisations to choose the sustainable alternative.”

Get in the circle

Economic growth is tied to the consumption of the earth’s finite resources through a ‘take, make and waste’ model. Moving to a circular model, designed to eliminate waste altogether, is recognised as the only viable long-term solution. This creates new ecological, social and financial opportunities for small and large business, organisations and individuals, locally and globally. Including you.

The Westconnex joint venture strives to be a leader in sustainability, and this includes minimising waste entering landfill. The GFH team provided a tailored solution for the cost-effective rehousing of our old office furniture as well reported on the project’s waste diversion statistics. I would recommend Green Furniture Hub's services to any organisation that cares about sustainability and resource management.

Green Furniture Hub is a fantastic initiative. They worked with us so we could supply our community college with valuable furniture we haven't been able to afford. Thank you!

I would highly recommend GFH. The furniture we purchased was amazing quality and well within our budget for refurnishing our clinic. The staff we dealt with were friendly and helpful- happy to measure and talk quantities, colours, etc, on the phone to ensure we got the right product. The clinic looks great, we saved a bundle and spared a lot of perfect furniture from landfill.

GFH is the affordable way to get high quality furniture for the home office or student workspace. We've taken some of the ergonomic offerings from GFH that no home office could afford, and we're love them.

Great concept. Win-Win for the company wanting to get rid of their excess furniture and for the buyer reducing fit-out costs while saving binning serviceable furniture.

I absolutely highly recommend GFH. The quality of the products I got are outstanding. Pretty much new. It’s common sense - reduce waste and save costs. Thank you so much! I love my desk and chair.

We wanted to sustainably manage the impact of our Brisbane corporate office relocation project. Our engagement with GFH enabled us to divert many of these items from landfill to charities and businesses. It’s great to know these items will be reused.
